How to prevent it

Osteoarthritis:

1. Maintain a healthy weight; this lessens the pressure on weight-bearing joints.

2. Exercise regularly and moderately to keep your muscles and bones strong.

3. Avoid repetitive activities, such as typing, that lead to joint overuse.

4. Maintain good posture; it lessens the stress on joints.

Rheumatoid arthritis:

There’s no known prevention for rheumatoid arthritis.

Gout:

1. Maintain a healthy weight; this lessens the pressure on weight-bearing joints.

2. Don’t fast; fasting can raise levels of uric acid.

3. Don’t drink heavily (alcoholic drinks or other beverages).

4. Control high blood pressure.

5. Avoid protein-rich foods such as organ meats and dried beans, which are all associated with gout.

6. Drink plenty of water.
